Finance gigs out of undergrad

Hi Everyone,

As a incoming undergrad business student, the world of finance appears to me like investment banking/ S&T and PE are the only things there are. I would love to hear all the other alternative "finance" routes people would take out of undergrad and beyond as exit options from IB. Much appreciated!

Hey everyone,

I’m a first year undergrad looking at different roles out of college. Obviously there’s IB, EB, s&t and sometimes PE. I wanted to know what other roles in finance/paths are there maybe lesser known?

Thanks
